29 November 2017
Dear Parents/Guardians 2018 College Fees As follow on from the letter from the Chairman of the College Board in relation to the College’s fees and charges for 2018 please find attached the following documents:
College Tuition Fees Schedule – Prep to Year 6 College Tuition Fees Schedule – Year 7 to Year 12 College Fees Payment Advice
Please review the documents and payment options, indicate your preferred method of payment on the 2018 College Fees Payment Advice form and return it along with any related forms, to the College by Friday, 15 December 2017. College Fees The Lakes College educational offerings and facilities are funded by College fees and are highly dependent upon accounts being paid on time. Accordingly, support in making the payment of fees a priority is appreciated. Over the years, many parents have participated in the College’s direct debit arrangement which has assisted in incorporating fee payments into the family budget. The direct debit arrangement is the College's preferred payment method. Tuition fees and levies will be charged to parent accounts once per term unless the account is being paid upfront for the full year. In the case of Year 12 students, tuition fees and levies for the year will be charged in three instalments in Terms 1,2 & 3. Subject specific costs for Secondary and Primary subjects will be charged as incurred. Lost or damaged library books are to be replaced at the replacement value of the book and the charge will be included on the Parent Fee Account. Additional charges if any, are payable by the applicable due date for each term. Statements will be issued for each term in January, April, July and October via email, and account details can be viewed via Parent Lounge.
Payment Options The College offers the following payment options: 1. Direct Debit arrangement Payment by weekly, fortnightly or monthly instalments. Direct debit arrangements will remain in place for the duration of the family’s continued enrolment at the College, unless the arrangement is cancelled by the parent. Please complete the direct debit form such that your fees will be paid by the end of November 2018. 2. Term in Advance Those who wish to pay College fees by term should note that fees are due and payable by the due dates applicable for each term detailed on the College Fees Schedule. If payment is not received by the due date, parents will be required to enter a direct debit payment arrangement. Please refer below to the methods of payment available under this option: a) B-Pay All College fee accounts are B-Pay ready. Your Biller Code and Reference Number are on your Statement of Account. Please note, if you choose to use this facility, payments must be received by the College by the applicable due dates b) Parent Lounge Payments can be made via Parent Lounge. You will need your Parent Account Number and password to log in. Please note, if you choose to use this facility, payments must be received by the College by the applicable due dates c) Direct Deposit Payments can be made directly into the College bank account. Please contact the Finance Office for these details. Please note, if you choose to use this facility, payments must be received by the College by the applicable due dates d) College Main Office Office hours are 8:00am to 4:00pm weekdays. The office is open during all College holidays except Monday 18 December 2017 to Monday 1 January 2018 inclusive. Payments accepted are EFTPOS (bank account, Visa or MasterCard), cash and cheque. EFT and cheque payments will also be accepted at the TLC Launch Day on Friday, 19 January 2018. 3. Annual Payments A 5% Annual Discount applies to the tuition component of College Fees, if full payment of all compulsory fees and levies for the year is received no later than close of business on Thursday, 25 January 2018. This discount does not apply to levies and is calculated after sibling discounts have been applied. If families nominate this option, all fees and levies will be billed on the Term 1 fee statement and the 5% will be applied on that statement. Please note, this is the final year in which this discount will be offered. Late Payment of Fees If an account remains unpaid, the following may occur: The enrolment may be cancelled at the discretion of the Principal, re-enrolment of the student may be withheld, or the student may be suspended until all fees are paid. (No reduction in fees will be given for such a period of suspension) Action to recover the outstanding amount may follow and you will be held responsible for all additional legal and collection charges incurred to settle this account
Should a situation arise in which you are suffering financial hardship, you are encouraged to contact the Finance Office and arrange to meet with the College’s Fees Administrator to make suitable arrangements. Cancellation of Enrolment Policy Parents and guardians should note the following Cancellation of Enrolment Policy. If the enrolment contract is terminated for any reason other than: our breach; or an increase in fees, you must provide us with at least one term’s notice. If you do not provide us with one term’s notice, the College may retain the Family Enrolment Deposit paid to the College on enrolment. Resources are committed on the basis of confirmed enrolments and the College may experience difficulty filling the student’s position at short notice. If a student is expelled, fees for the whole of the term in which the student is expelled must be paid for. Family Discounts Acknowledging the cost burden for parents of more than one student at the College, we continue to offer sibling discounts as detailed in the fee schedules. Please note, the eldest child concurrently attending will always be levied 100% of the standard fee, unless in receipt of a scholarship. Sibling discounts will not apply where one child is in receipt of a scholarship, except at the discretion of the Principal. Please do not hesitate to contact the Finance Office should you have any queries or require any assistance with your fees. May I take this opportunity to convey the College’s best wishes to you and your loved ones during the festive season and we look forward to welcoming your children back to the College in 2018. Yours sincerely
Mr Michael Shine Business Manager
